I just learned of these:

esr@snark:~/WWW/src$ aptitude search python-is
p   python-is-python2                 - symlinks /usr/bin/python to the 
DEPRECATED 
v   python-is-python2:any             -                                         
   
p   python-is-python3                 - symlinks /usr/bin/python to python3     
   
v   python-is-python3:any             -                                         
  

Not functionally better rthjan making your own symlink, but at least it means
the change is recorded in your packet installs.
